An Easy Way to Transfer Contacts from iPhone to Android

When Steve Jobs introduced the first version of iPhone in WWDC years before, it then quickly became industrial standard of modern smartphones, replacing keyboard-based cell phone to touch-based smartphone. The ex-giant like Blackberry and Nokia fell apart and gradually disappeared from the main stream. This revolutionary device grabbed almost half of the smartphone market share in years after it came out. And it was always topped the best selling smartphone among major listings. However, the things changed a little bit when Jobs passed away. Right now, Android powered smartphone has the potential to surpass iPhone on features and price. And that's the reason I switched to an Android device from iPhone.

2016 is a big year for Android smartphones as there are new fancy devices released consistently at a monthly basis, like Samsung Galaxy S8/S7/S6, HTC One M10/M9/M8, Sony Xperia XZ/Z5, LG V20/G6, Moto X/G/E, etc… And I was finally convinced by Galaxy S5 after having a first-hand experience of the device. When I got the new smartphone, one of the first thing annoyed me is that I need to transfer all of the contacts from iPhone to the new one and currently there is 300+ phone contacts stored on the old device. And I definitely don't want to type them manually on the new device. I have to figure out a more comfortable way to get the thing done.

Androidsoft Mobile Phone Transfer is an automated solution to help you copy contacts from iPhone to an Android smartphone. No additional work is involved in the transferring process, what you need to do is just a few mouse clicks. And handle the rest to the software. It only takes a few minutes to transfer all of my contacts to Galaxy S7. What's more, other items like text messages, photos and media files can also be transferred by the software. Besides, it supports all iPhone models and 3000+ Android powered smartphones.
